[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stanford sailing coach sentenced today. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/12/us/college-admissions-scandal-stanford.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

"The coach, John Vandemoer, was given a far lighter sentence than prosecutors had sought: a single day in jail — time the judge said had already been served — and six months of home confinement as part of two years of supervised release."[/quote]

Wow.[/quote]

He accepted responsibility for his actions and plead guilty. 
He didn’t personally benefit from his actions. 
He got six months of house arrest which is no picnic, especially since it goes from now until almost Christmas. 
He is a convicted felon and will not be able to work in many types of jobs in the future - including maybe his own.

It’s not what the government hoped for but it’s not nothing given the circumstances. By accepting responsibility and having gotten no personal gain, he’s probably one of the least of the bad actors. [/quote]

Oh, he got something out of doing it.  Why would he do it at all if there was nothing in it for him?  Why risk his job and reputation to get Olivia Jade on the crew team?  [/quote]
